I finally spent my Kino vouchers on two books - The Time Traveller's Wife and To Kill a Mockingbird. Total bill was $31.40. I'm gonna be like Bea, save money and buy a book every month. I still have Orwell's 1984 to complete though.
I honestly wish people would tell me stuff more. I hate having to find out about people's problems through others. It makes me wonder - where do I stand in terms of a friend? I honestly don't know.
We sit late, watching the dark slowly unfold:
No clock counts this.
When kisses are repeated and the arms hold
There is no telling where time is.
It is midsummer: the leaves hang big and still:
Behind the eye a star,
Under the silk of the wrist a sea, tell
Time is nowhere.
We stand; leaves have not timed the summer.
No clock now needs
Tell we have only what we remember:
Minutes uproaring with our heads
Like an unfortunate King's and his Queen's
When the senseless mob rules;
And quietly the trees casting their crowns
Into the pools.
